There are Watch Officetel: Lover Friend Onlinetwo ways to watch Pennyworthon Epix.
The first is to take it at face value as a television show about a dashing former soldier starting his postwar life as a security consultant and running headfirst into a dark, sexy conspiracy at the heart of London. The second is to recall that Pennyworthacts as an origin story for Batman's butler and revel in that fact at every possible moment.
The second way is much, much more fun.
Unlike Gotham, the now-finished Batman prequel series about Jim Gordon also produced by Pennyworthteam Danny Cannon and Bruno Heller, Pennyworththrives on the audience knowing the end state for its main character. Gothamwas a prequel that reimagined the origins of several Batman villains, Bruce Wayne, and the city of Gotham itself, which spread the focus of the show's inevitable ending across dozens of bizarre and surprising stories. Pennyworthis laser-focused on Alfred, Thomas Wayne, and Martha Kane (soon to be Wayne), which makes it easier to concentrate on what eventually happens to all of them.
Pennyworth thrives on the audience knowing the end state for its main character.
In many TV series, a character talking about wanting to have children is a normal and plausible thing to do. In Pennyworth, hearing Alfred muse about his future kids is unintentionally comedic — sure, he'll raise a kid one day, but he'll spend the rest of his life waiting in a basement to see if his violent, depressed son has tripped off the side of a skyscraper or captured an evil clown. It's funnier still to watch Martha Kane, the assumed future Bat-mama, develop an attraction to Alfred, knowing that one day her husband will hire her fantasy man to serve cookies and answer the door.
Pennyworthhas some great touches outside of its prequel status, many of which should be familiar to fans of Gotham. Stylistic touches like weird, ahistorical technology and off-color depictions of history abound, as well as fancy, symmetrical nightclub scenes and goth/punk villain costumes. The show also benefits from its Mature rating, higher than that of the Fox-friendly Gotham, by allowing Heller and Cannon to go absolutely bonkers with the hyper-violent parallel reality an adult Batman show deserves. We're talking dripping entrails, headshots, and a funky twist on public hangings involving an oversized wooden mallet. The world of Pennyworthis a bloody, horny mess, and that's wonderful.

As the show's plot picks up and the original circumstances that bring young Alfred into Thomas Wayne's inner circle come together, there's a lot to enjoy in sitting back and watching the madness happen. There's just so much more joy in knowing who it happens to, and what is coming for him in the future.
